Cheers Alex. Actually I have a lovely single-breasted jacket which is a fetching shade of racing green. I'll wear it to the office on Sunday.

So where are we…

Sandy Lyle on the leaderboard? Hang on. Is this 1988?!

Oh no, it can’t be. Jordan Spieth is about to tee off. He wasn’t even born when Sandy slipped into the Green Jacket all those years ago...

OK, it's nearly time for another champion to take to the tee as Jordan Spieth gets ready to go out alongside Martin Kaymer and Matthew Fitzpatrick.

With that in mind I'll introduce you to a man who'll never get anywhere near a Green Jacket, but is a champion of the live text circuit.

Mr Jonathan Jurejko...

Right, I'm biased I know, but there's loads of cracking material on our golf index for you to get your teeth stuck into.

Including this video preview with Rory McIlroy. He's out at 18:41 BST.

We have a new leader in the shape of JB Holmes. The American has birdied the second and third to go two under through three.

Just as I say that, fellow countryman Scott Piercy birdies the seventh to join him. 

Kevin Chappell had strung back-to-back birdies together but then dropped a shot at the par-four fifth.

Sandy Lyle, meanwhile, is steadily hanging in there at one under.

Tony Madden: In the Annual Railway Invitational 2016, I suffered an injury on the 8th fairway as I reacted to yet another scuffed shot by smashing my club on the ground which resulted in it snapping in half and me dislocating my shoulder. Tournament over...We go again 2017!

And Tony has even sent us a picture of the moment it happened...

And here's a more comprehensive look at who's due on the first tee in the next hour...

15:12(BST) - Russell Knox (Sco), Rickie Fowler, Hideki Matsuyama (Jpn)

15:23  - Branden Grace (SA), Brooks Koepka, Jeung-Hun Wang (Kor)

15:34  - Jordan Spieth, Martin Kaymer (Ger), Matthew Fitzpatrick (Eng)

15:45  - Phil Mickelson, Rafael Cabrera-Bello (Spa), Si Woo Kim (Kor)

15:56  - Justin Rose (Eng), Brandt Snedeker, Jason Day (Aus)

Sandy Lyle, still at one under, is flying the flag at the minute, but we're in for some renewed British interest...

England's Tommy Fleetwood and Andy Sullivan have just gone out, as has Paul Casey.

Scotland's Russell Knox is next up to the tee box at 15:12 BST. He'll be playing alongside Rickie Fowler and Hideki Matsuyama.

Six-time Masters champion Jack Nicklaus has tweeted, external after his ceremonial tee shot.

"Even though my friend Gary Player and I are a year older and maybe a few yards shorter, this first tee time on Thursday of the Masters never gets old. 

"It was wonderful to pause and pay tribute to our dear friend Arnold, and I hope from above he offered us a thumbs-up for finding the fairway. 

"It's not important but I must have also found a little extra as I might have nipped Gary. 

"Perhaps I should give Rory McIlroy some credit and thanks for the little driver tweak the other day on the range at The Bear's Club. Best of luck to him and the rest of the field in the 81st Masters."

We were talking earlier about the ceremonial tee shot and how it's taken on sentimental importance since the passing of Arnold Palmer.

Palmer hit his first starter's shot in 2007 and was later joined by Gary Player and Jack Nicklaus.

The pair paid tribute to their old friend before this year's start, and Nicklaus has shared a touching message to both on Twitter...

CoodenTaxConsulting: Before debuting as captain of a school U11 cricket team, I was cycling down a hill swerved to miss a pot hole and flew over handle bars!

Nick Powell:  Ruled out of the rest of a school ski trip after jumping off my bunkbed and severely spraining my ankle, gutting blow.

Seem you lot have already got the hang of today's debate, keep them coming in.

A renaissance from Sandy Lyle?

The 59-year-old Scot, who won the Masters back in 1988, is one under through three after a birdie at the third.

It's not proving such a fruitful debut for English amateur Scott Gregory though, who is currently four over.

The 22-year-old triple-bogeyed his first ever Masters hole.

Kevin Chappell has put together back-to-back birdies to jump to the top of the leaderboard early on.

The American sent a lovely 111-yard approach shot to within two feet of the pin at the par-four third, to send it down in three.

The 30-year-old's best result at Augusta was tied 44th in 2012.

The last thing you want on the eve of the Masters is to fall down the stairs in your Augusta rental home.

That's exactly what happened to Dustin Johnson last night and we wait with bated breath to see how the world number one and pre-tournament favourite gets on today.

It got us thinking and we want to hear of your untimely sporting injuries and the strangest injuries you have suffered.

Think former Rangers defender Kirk Broadfoot who was injured by an exploding egg or legendary Australian cricketer Glenn McGrath, who slipped on a stray ball on the morning of an Ashes Test.

But we want to hear what has happened to you.

Get in touch via Twitter on #bbcgolf or text 81111.

Johnson is not due on tee until 19:03 BST this evening, which gives the world number one a little more time to recover from his fall.

"The main goal was to control the pain overnight to minimize stiffness and avoid spasms this morning," physiotherapist Dr Ara Suppiah added. , external

“The team acted very quickly, which makes a huge difference in getting control of the situation and prognosis."  

Dustin Johnson's Masters tournament remains in the balance after he fell down some stairs and hurt his back last night, but the world number one's coaching team say he is "going in the right direction".

Johnson's trainer Joey Diovisalvi told Golfworld:, external "He was very much in an under control point going to bed last night.

"He was walking around, a lot more mobility, took a couple of practice swings slowly without a club.

"He’s not angry or upset, I'd say more discouraged."

-1 R Henley (after 7 holes), K Chappell (2), S Piercy (4) 

E B Steele (4), S Hagestad (3), S Lyle (1, Sco), L Oosthuizen (1, SA)

Tee times  and official leaderboard, external

Following Sandy Lyle and Scott Gregory's group out was the first of the bigger names in Zach Johnson and Louis Oosthuizen, they're joined by Canada's Adam Hadwin.

Oosthuizen makes it through the first in par, but American Johnson drops a shot, as does Hadwin.

Christian Gregory:  Its got to be either Fowler or the herculean Jon Rahm. Both on great form running into.

Paolo: Got my man Hideki Matsuyama. Really good showing last year, he's got my fiver.

Dean Moffat: If DJ is badly hurt, it would be good see McIlroy complete the slam. Mrs backing Garcia just cause of the name.

I've heard that approach in horse racing, Dean, but not golf before?  

Maybe I was a little harsh on Brian Stuard earlier, because Scott Gregory has just followed suit by also triple-bogeying the first.

Strong winds? Uncontrollable nerves? Either way, it's not the start the English amateur will have been dreaming of.

Unfortunately, those YouTube clips can't replicate the blustery conditions at Augusta.

So, with just over an hour played in the 2017 Masters, it's Russell Henley's name at the top of the leaderboard.

The American birdied the second and fourth, but dropped a shot at the par-four third.

A long way to go, of course...
